Bolton

Even as President Bush and Democrats cheerfully chatted about "working together" after last week's power-shifting election, an old fight was resuming over Senate confirmation of United Nations Ambassador John Bolton. Bolton has been in the job for 15 months, but he has been working under a recess appointment made by President Bush while Congress was out of session. Bush took that path after Democrats blocked a floor vote on Bolton's confirmation. A majority of the Senate appeared ready to support...

(Reuters) - Bolton Wanderers will change the name of their Reebok stadium to the Macron from July as part of a new deal between the Championship club and an Italian sportswear manufacturer. It will be the first change of name for the second tier club's home ground since it opened in 1997, when they were in the Premier League, after the move from Burnden Park. Under an initial four-year deal, Macron will produce the club's match kit and leisurewear. "This is an extremely...

Michael Bolton-the heartthrob crooner of the moment in pop music-has the mannerisms of a soul singer, but it's clear from his performance Saturday night at Poplar Creek Music Theatre that he has little understanding of how great soul music is made. On each of his last three hit albums, he has proffered versions of `60s soul classics that indicate more than just casual interest in the genre: Otis Redding's "(Sittin` on the) Dock of the Bay," a reading of Hoagy Carmichael's "Georgia on My Mind" that closely...

PARIS (Reuters) - Pernod Ricard said it was buying Kenwood Vineyards to beef up its premium wines portfolio in the United States, the French drinks company's biggest market, and was looking for more small-scale acquisitions. The world's second-biggest spirits group behind Britain's Diageo said on Thursday it still expected demand in China, where sales sank 28 percent in its financial third quarter, to stay weak and kept a target for slower full-year profit growth. The...

Dec 31 (Reuters) - Bolton Wanderers announced debts of 163.8 million pounds ($270.69 million) on Tuesday, providing a stark reminder of how financially damaging it can be for a club to drop out of the English Premier League. "This year's results show the difficulties faced in the football business when a club has enjoyed a sustained and successful period in the Premier League, in our case 11 years, then suffers relegation to the Championship," chairman Phil...

ZURICH, July 25 (Reuters) - Roche will continue to focus on bolt-on acquisitions, its Chief Executive Severin Schwan told reporters, declining to comment specifically on whether the company was considering a bid for Alexion Pharmaceuticals. Roche has been seeking financing for a potential bid for Alexion, which would mark a shift into treatments for rare diseases. "As far as our overall innovation strategy is concerned there is no change ... It has always been our...

LONDON (Reuters) - FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic, who were relegated from the Premier League three days after winning their first major trophy, are poised to appoint Owen Coyle, the former boss of rivals Bolton Wanderers, as their manager. "In principle we have agreed a deal," Wigan owner Dave Whelan told Sky Sports News on Friday after concluding his search for a replacement for Spaniard Roberto Martinez, who left to manage Everton. Bolton and Wigan are local rivals in the...

Marist senior guard Leah Bolton recently had her scholarship to play basketball at Illinois revoked because she didn't meet the school's academic requirements, according to RedHawks coach Mary Pat Connolly.

The 5-foot-11 Bolton was one of six players to sign their letters of intent in mid-November to make up Illinois coach Matt...

Muamba, whose heart stopped beating for 78 minutes after collapsing during an FA Cup tie between Spurs and Bolton, made a full recovery but the 24-year-old was forced to retire from the game on doctors' orders. Walking onto the pitch during...

Marist entered the season projected to be one of the top teams in the state. The RedHawks returned two college-bound players - Marquette signee JeTaun Rouse and Illinois-bound Leah Bolton - coupled with a dearth of inside players. Marist lost five of six games during the middle of the season, testing coach Mary Pat Connolly's decision to play a rugged schedule to get her team ready for the playoffs. Behind a revitalized and aggressive frontcourt,...

Richard Marx Flesh and Bone (Capitol) (star) (star) At a time when '80s-style pop ala George Michael couldn't be more out of vogue, Richard Marx is not so much oblivious to trends as unfazed by them. Marx is in strong voice and succeeds on jet-set rockers like "The Image" and the vibrato-guitar driven "What's The Story," an anti-tabloid tirade. But much of Marx's production is too finely polished, and when he indulges a penchant for slick balladry on songs such...
